DENTON, Md.- Denton police responded to a stabbing Wednesday, which they said was the result of a domestic-related incident.
At around 1:30 p.m. officers responded to a reported stabbing in the 200 building of Riverview Gardens. Police said they found Markel Bledsoe, 22 of Denton, with a stab wound on his side. He was treated by Caroline County EMS before he was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, where he was admitted for treatment and observation.
